Capitalism will end. It’s proven more resilient than Marx thought, so it’s taking its sweet time, but it is ending. I’d say there’s a pretty good chance we go back to feudalism with King Vance, Duke Musk, and Baron Bezos, but it’s not set in stone. I like to think we inherited a shit part of the progression.
Silurian is a type of alien? It’s a whole geological period. Calling something “Silurian” could refer to thousands of different species in the fossil record.
J.D. Vance, who will then become president and have himself crowned King of America. If you think I’m joking, look the guy up.
Scientist here. I encourage everyone to use a shadow library like Scihub to break the stranglehold that Elsevier and Wiley have on the free availability of knowledge. These are financialized corporations that add nothing to society and leach off of scientists’ hard work.
And if you don’t have an elite sports team and instead have a multi-billion dollar endowment then you’re a hedge fund with a side hustle in tertiary education.
Yeah Christianity kinda got rid of that. Sorry.
A schwarschild radius of 0.5 meters corresponds to about 56 Earth masses. So Richard must have accreted a bunch of mass before he collapsed.
Every free space must be enclosed and monetized.
When you build new things they necessarily blow up during the development process. NASA is hobbled by a flat budget so they can’t afford to blow anything up. So they can’t build anything new, which is why SLS is a bunch of old parts scrapped together.
An AI would give a generic definition of Saturn and a generic definition of tea and then say something irrelevant like “scientists disagree about the exact composition of Saturn’s core”
Saturn is a mixture of gases. It has a solid rocky/hydrogen core surrounded by a layer of liquid hydrogen/helium. You could argue that this intermediate liquid layer might have solid particulates, and this would agree with the definition, but overall Saturn is too complicated to be classified this way. A better extreme example would be something like Earth’s oceans.
Al is a major element in the solar system. Most rocks have Al2O3 on the order of 3-10 wt.%. That includes chondrites (the major class of meteorite) which have plenty of feldspar, a mineral that’s like 20 wt.% Al2O3, and calcium-aluminium inclusions (CAIs), which are as their name suggests, Al-rich.
Cool. Enjoy your dystopia.
Corporations want to be perceived as people, and they are protected by law as such. A person who knowingly manufactures weapons that are being used to commit a genocide is a psychopath. Psychopaths typically feign empathy to appear normal and blend in with society. Lockheed Martin supporting Pride is an example of such behavior.
Of course corporations are profit maximization engines, not people. By allowing them to act like people, we are normalizing psychopathy.
How about you only have to work 28.8 hours a week?
It’s fine for a user who needs specific things not that often. I always have to look up how to do anything anyway, and by the next time I do it I’ve either forgotten or the software has updated.
Intra-uterine devices?
Haber will obviously continue to be used and work but as long as there’s a fossil fuel price to make it happen expect more extreme storms, fires, droughts, floods, ocean acidification, and possibly methane clathrate release triggering a runaway greenhouse effect like during the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum.
What I am wondering is among that uninformed voter base are there people who think “hmm, maybe I won’t vote for the guy that somebody just tried to kill.”
